| Waveshine_2001 11/16/25 8:29:27 PM #31 | Gall posted... VGMC16 was declared the Year of Todd Baker before it even began, and surprisingly that didnt turn out to be a jinx. Undoubtedly the banner Baker song that year was The Lost City, which easily took on longtime favorites Ring Ring Ring! and Gusty Garden Galaxy, then proceeded to increase its leads versus its fellow bracket retirees and lost by 1 to the song that lost by 1 to the champion. It losing R1 here is shocking to say the least. Damn it, I knew The Lost City being in this contest would make this comment inevitable. GGG is my favorite, and it took me a very long time to get over that loss >_> I'm still sad about it sometimes. :( At least my other nomination, Aquatic Ambiance, beat The Lost City. So I lost to The Lost City and beat The Lost City in the same contest. Amusing! Funny how I ended up voting for TLC this time anyways. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 11/16/25 8:21:30 PM #29 | atlantis losing is amusing and surprising (coming from someone who just voted it) lmao I guess if it was called "The Win City" instead, maybe it would've won! At least the original D4 moved on. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 11/16/25 7:58:59 PM #38 | Alto's Odyssey - The Lost City: Copy-pasting from Supra winners' commentary: This has a very otherworldly, almost ethereal tone to it, which makes it very pleasant to listen to. I really love the flutes in particular here, but as a flautist, Im obviously biased, lol Funnily enough, even if the flutes are my favorite instrument, my actual favorite part of the song is right at the 2 minute mark with the rising choir that crescendos to the climax. That part is really awe-inspiring. Admittedly, while I enjoyed it on a first listen, I had slowly started to grow extremely sick of this song back in the day when the hype surrounding it was still fresh. It beating my literal favorite song of all time in a matchup just added extra salt to the wound. But that was long in the past now, and listening to it after all this time has reinvigorated my appreciation for this song that was lost after I developed severe fatigue for it and all things Alto back then. Even if I wish it had a stronger melody, Im glad to say that listening to it today, I feel free from the shackles of my past grudge against this song and am able to genuinely enjoy it for what it is again. 8.3/10 Metal Masters (Game Boy) - Metal Beat (Part 2): Decent chiptune but doesn't do a whole ton for me. 6.5/10 Vote: atlantis ------------------------------- Granblue Fantasy - Order of the New World: Huh, a vocal song where I actually like the vocals. This was fun. 7.5/10 opoona - Blue Desert Hotel: (copy-pasting from VGMC 18): The oboe melody with the beautiful instrumentation in the background is lovely. Very delightful to listen to. 7.6/10 Vote: BDH. close match -------------------------------------------- Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of the World - Din Don Dan Dan: (copy-pasting from my Rate the Albums commentary) I was first introduced to this OST through Supra's Best VGM List Contest where someone nominated "Din Don Dan Dan." "Din Don Dan Dan" ended up mid-tier for me where I placed it 18th out of 38 songs. I've since grown to enjoy it significantly more since that contest. Ever since then, this OST has shown up in a variety of video game music contests I've participated in, and, even if it has a couple of songs I didn't vibe with (especially "Pub"), I've grown to largely really enjoyed it. I've always enjoyed Celtic/Celtic-inspired music, and this OST ended up being no exception. 8.75/10 AIR - summer lights: Pretty piece. Don't have a lot to say. 7.6/10 Vote: D4 -------------------------------------------- the OG D4 > atlantis > blue desert hotel > AIR > order of new world >>> metal beat VOTES The Lost City Blue Desert Hotel Din Don Dan Dan --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 11/15/25 9:33:20 PM #46 | Gall posted... VGMC uses the wording "an annual celebration of the best of the best video game music". Since this is a Tournament of Champions, I added another level of the best. I mean it to congratulate these songs for their past successes, not to disparage any that aren't here. Thank you for confirming thats what you meant. I assumed you meant that, but I wasnt sure. I know I get sensitive over wording sometimes, and I know thats something I have to work on. I feel better now. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 11/15/25 4:36:40 PM #36 | Thank you for hosting this contest! Im excited to see what my favorite discoveries will be. However, Im not a fan of the wording best of the best of the best because to me it implies that songs not in this contest are not the best, and as someone whose favorites are largely not represented here, it hurts a little to be reminded of that. I also understand Im probably being nitpicky though, and I get why you chose to use that wording given how the only qualifying songs for this contest are well-performing songs that reached a certain threshold. Still looking forward to what this contest has to offer! timess scar: Im using the same commentary I did for the Supra winners ranking: This is perhaps the only song on this list I knew and loved before I joined my very first VGM community (which was this community lol), so I have an especially strong, almost nostalgic attachment to this song. Yes, I was introduced to Baba Yetu before this song sometime back in high school, but Baba Yetu didnt really stick with me the same way this song has until much more recently. The flute in the beginning is absolutely gorgeous. The melody is basically perfect; it conveys a bitter-sweet, nostalgic tone as if it were longing for the past, which is fitting given the time-travel nature of the Chrono duology and the poetic story told in the intro where this plays. I remember when I still played flute regularly, I would play this intro on flute repeatedly because of how much I adored it. After the flute section, the song rapidly picks up the pace and goes for a more Celtic-inspired sound. While I dont love this section quite as much as I love the intro, its still very beautiful and dramatic. I like how it somewhat contrasts with the flute solo at the beginning. Whereas the flute solo conveyed a longing for bygone days, this section conveys a sense of tension and excitement for the adventure to come. The motif from the first Chrono games main theme starting at the 1:33 mark is a welcome inclusion, showcasing the connection between the two games and foreshadowing how the story of the first game affected the story and events to unfold in this game. This is a great composition and is one of Mitsudas best works in my opinion. It really tells a story just with its tone and instrumentation, which is not easy to pull off. Theres a reason why this is an old favorite for me and why Ive loved it so much over these many years. 9.6/10 lufia 2: rise of the sinistrals - battle theme 3: feels like a pretty standard battle theme. Yeah, its solid, but its not something Id consider particularly memorable. 6/10 Vote: Times Scar - mk8 - big blue: I literally nominated this for the most recent Supra contest lmao (it lost round 1, which is quite amusing. Maybe itll lose r1 again here). Anyways, banger. 9/10 the liar and the blind prince - moonlight concert: god, I dont like the vocals. But the vocal harmony, the little flute, and the WALTZ-Y feel is sooo beautiful. I love waltzes and flutes, so those two elements bring up this song a lot for me. I think I could look past the vocals on this one for everything else. 7.3/10 vote: big blue jubeat knit - Shining Wizard(Long Version) - Is this fusion jazz? Anyways, this was quite impressive! I enjoyed it. 7.8/10 BLUE REFLECTION - TIGAR (ALL PHASE MIX)- This is an impressive composition, just like its opponent. However, I dont personally enjoy it much. The radio noises at the beginning and the overall tone of the piece is just too overwhelming to me. And oh my god, that dubstep section. As if I wasnt already overwhelmed enough. Good piece that just isnt my cup of tea. 4.5/10 Vote: Shining Wizard - Ranking: Times scar > big blue >>>> shining wizard > moonlight sonata >>> battle theme 3 >> Tigar VOTES! Chrono Cross -Scars of Time- Big Blue Shining Wizard(Long Version) --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

Also I am not going to bother with rank posts at all this go around, and will instead just dump my top 30 now as I had a long time to mull it over. Pollyanna being here seriously made me do a double take. Too bad its not the Catherine Warwick version, which is one of my favorite songs of all time (yes, I know thats not eligible. But it still saddens me how little this version is talked about in VGM spaces Ive been a part of). Of this list, I think Super Mario 64s Staff Roll (which I supported/nominated) and Times Scar are my favorites. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

Maybe you didnt mean top two, and I misunderstood. Obviously Zero is one of them. If were not counting Poet and the Muse (which I thought was your second favorite), I guess the other below top 10 options are Kimera 2, Battle Torna, Monty, Wind Waker Staff Roll, and Deoxy (not the Pokemon). --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |
| Topic | Rank the Tracks 233: Katamari Damacy Soundtrack Katamari Fortissimo Damacy |
| Waveshine_2001 09/26/25 3:04:55 AM #24 | Gonna be honest: I didnt want to put overture at 1st because its a fairly generic piano piece that doesnt have the quirkiness that Katamari is known for. But I guess I personally found a lot of the unique sound design decisions in this album to be a turn off, so to stay true to my own tastes, I felt obligated to put the least problematic (I dont know what other word to use. I know that is too harsh) one for me personally on top. Overture is not my favorite Katamari song overall, and my actual favorite (currently Starry Night Fever) is something Im proud to say feels like a proper Katamari song, quirkiness and all. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |
| Topic | Rank the Tracks 233: Katamari Damacy Soundtrack Katamari Fortissimo Damacy |
| Waveshine_2001 09/18/25 6:01:37 AM #17 | RANKING (countdown from LEAST favorite to FAVORITE) I rank in reverse order because I like saving the best for last. 21) Taste of an Angel (Angel Gifts) Oh yeah, I think this is one of the ones Ive heard before. Didnt care for it back then and still dont care for it now. The noises are a little annoying. Actually, its even more annoying than I remember; those high-pitched noises are just relentless. At least the lower pitched percussion is nice I guess. 4/10 20) Lovely Angel Yeah, this sure exists. Way too repetitive for me to enjoy it. 5/10 19) Wanda Wanda This did nothing for me. It was also way too repetitive in my opinion. Its fine but gets slightly annoying after a while. 5.5/10 18) Last Samba Starting off with a high-pitched whistle sure is a choice. I appreciate how the main theme is incorporated into this, but my ears still hurt from the whistle. 5.5/10 17) Cherry Blossoms That singing is ear-grating to me. Child/child-like singing is more often a miss than a hit for me, so I guess thats not surprising. The strings in the back are pretty though. All right, Ill admit I do like the vocal harmony. I just dont like the vocals themselves, if that makes sense. 5.75/10 16) You Are Smart I hate to rate a song whose name compliments the listener kind of low, but it is what it is. Its too repetitive for my tastes and doesnt have a strong melody to keep me interested. Its nice but really needed to shake things up a bit more in my opinion. 6/10 15) Katamari Stars Cute. Kinda basic though imo. 6/10 14) Stardust Fanfare Works as a fanfare but is too short for me to enjoy as a song. 6/10 13) The Na-Na Song Its somewhat charming, but it otherwise just kind of exists. 6/10 12) Katamari Mambo - Katamari Syndrome Re-mix The grunting is funny. Its an amusing song, but its not really my thing. 6.75/10 11) Ball of Love It certainly sounds like a love song as the name implies. Its pleasant. 7/10 10) Red Rose with Gin & Tonic The drum beat is straight up an exact copy of the one from the oldies song, Sing, Sing, Sing. Seeing as this song is obviously trying to replicate a song of that era, that has to be intentional. Not entirely fond of the vocals, but its a good time otherwise. 7.1/10 9) Que Sera Sera Like Ive been saying with quite a few songs on this list, its rather repetitive. However, the vocal harmony is cool. Good song overall. 7.2/10 8) Moon & Prince I think I vaguely remember this from BOST 6? I dont think I liked this song back then. Now, I find it quite charming. The enthusiastic rapping accompanied by some banger instrumentation is kind of endearing. 7.4/10 7) Walking on a Star! I like the horns. Fun song. 7.5/10 6) Fugue#7777 lol, the singers sound like Miis. Its cute. 7.5/10 5) Katamari March Damacy Again with the Miis singing. Its simple yet catchy. 7.5/10 4) Roll Me In Isnt this the one with the weird scream at the end? Ah yes, it is in fact the one with the weird scream at the end. Its such a chill, groovy song with great singing, percussion, and sax. I really like most of it a lot.but man, why did they have to add the scream? It doesnt completely ruin the song, but I wouldve possibly loved it without that, and it wouldve been my undisputed favorite of this entire album. What a shame that one second of uncomfortable noise could make me go from loving a song to merely liking it a lot. 7.6/10 3) Lonely Rolling Star Ah, yes, the undeniable fan favorite of the bunch. Its very cute. 7.6/10 2) Katamari on the Rocks Nice percussion and horns. Not entirely fond of the vocals, but they dont bother me much either. Overall, fun song with a nice melody. Its iconic for a reason. 7.6/10 1) Overture I really enjoy solo piano, and this one is no exception. I just wish it was longer. 7.8/10 Overall, I can see why a lot of people really like this OST. Its unique, filled with so many charming quirks that easily make it a memorable album. Some of those quirks were quite nice, and others were a turn-off, however (speaking for myself). I think its at the very least a decent album, but I personally have heard many other video game OSTs let alone albums in general that Ive enjoyed far more consistently than this one. Still, I had a decently fun time with most of these songs. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 08/22/25 12:09:00 AM #18 | Haste_2 posted... Haha yeah thats why I said this in the finals: To the Supra folks, we have seen this match before. We know how it went down. So, will Shiva successfully take revenge on the song that beat it out of a win last time, or will Precipice go 2-0 on poor Shiva? Stay tuned to find out! I guess Precipice ended up going 2-0 on Shiva after all. The underdog doesnt always win, but at least this time, it put up a good fight (Shiva was more than doubled in the Supra contest). --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 08/18/25 10:58:20 PM #18 | Lost Forest so glad Forest made it this far. After two years, it has officially evened the odds with Ragna by making it to round 7 itself. Also shout-out to PSI_NESS for being the true original Lost Forest nominator back in vgmc 11 and for also nominating FE Awakening Conquest back then too. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 08/16/25 3:02:48 AM #27 | Auld Lang Syne Lost Forest I like how match 1 is long, repetitive song vs. another long, repetitive song. Usually this description would be an insult, but I do feel like Whale builds on itself enough to justify the repetitiveness while New Years song is just an absolute banger all the way through in spite of the repetition. In other words, I still like both songs. Actually, I like all four songs today, but I still have clear preferences. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 08/14/25 1:17:40 AM #23 | Lost Woods Theme that isnt from Zelda I really hope Lost Forest can make round 7 to put it on par with the song that beat it initially (Ragna Breakers I think it was). --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

All four are pretty solid songs. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 08/05/25 10:01:48 PM #4 | FIGHT!! Ver.1 Auld Lang Syne Letter L is technically the more interesting and unique pick, but more interesting and unique doesnt always translate to more enjoyable. Grandia might be a basic battle theme but its a GOOD basic battle theme. I think its a prime example of the fact that a song doesnt always have to be unique to just be a solid, enjoyable time. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |

| Waveshine_2001 08/05/25 8:46:59 PM #48 | Danza zandA (Long Version) not sure what to vote in the second match. Once again, Im pleasantly surprised I like a FELT song (first incident where this happened was with the song Cant Look Away from Supras Hindsight 2024 contest). On the other hand, Im so glad to see rep from a composer Ive been subscribed to for a while. I mostly just know noble demon for their remixes tho. My two favorite remixes by them are Snowman from Earthbound and Sunset Wilds from Mario Kart GBA. --- Fox Only, Final Destination. |
